Most people know me as Kari over deviantART. I go by Makonatic now, so please excuse this old username from extreme weeaboo me from the past. > u < I'll be changing and making updates to my personal page here every now and then, as I'm starting off fresh.

Introduction
My interest in anime came way back in 2009, when I first heard of an old anime named Sailor Moon. I watched many videos and episodes, and before I knew it I had decided to start drawing. Like always, I bombed at anime since it was my first time at it. Otherwise I just plain fail at it, but with a bit more practice I began to improve. Around 2010 was when I heard of VOCALOID, a voice synthesizing program. The first VOCALOID I drew was of course, Hatsune Miku. And to be honest, I didn't have that much fun on my first attempt to draw her. But, over the years I started liking art and so my skills improved. Today I do both art and literature. Mostly art since that was what I'm most interested in.

I came up on a site called deviantART, and decided to showcase my art there. However I had no scanner and had to draw with a mouse. It was pretty complicated drawing with a mouse, and I longed for a tablet. But I was stunned to realize as I got more familiar with mouse art, my digital art began to look better. Then I came across a program called MikuMikuDance, or commonly known as MMD. I downloaded it, and found the controls very confusing. I soon began to understand it after watching the tutorial a billion times. And then I began posting from digital art to mostly 3D art made from MMD. After that, my literature skills brought me into roleplaying. I really enjoy drawing and literature as one of my hobbies, and I hope that lasts long.

Information
When I use MMD, doesn't mean I make model requests. I'm terrible at using PMD editor, and decided not to try it because the controls were so complicated. However though, I do take art requests for characters. They can either be digitally drawn or traditonally (pencil art) drawn. Requests may take a while since I'm very busy on other things, so I apologize if I can't manage to finish it. I do take fanmade boxart requests as well, though it may not look exactly like the VOCALOID boxart. I'll try my best. Thank you

Fanfictions
Literature isn't really my thing, but I do enjoy it! To avoid taking up space, I have placed the fan-fiction statuses as an External Link to Piratepad, including links to each of the stories' previews on the same pad. Please scroll below this heading for the link. Thank you!
